Show Restrict Radio Ads Canada has taken steps to limit the amount of time a radio broadcasting broad-casting station may devote to advertising. ad-vertising. The Canadian Radio Broadcasting Broadcast-ing Commission has ruled that advertising ad-vertising shall occupy one-twentieth of the broadcasting time of any station and "spot announcements" announce-ments" (short advertising messages mes-sages interspersed between programs) pro-grams) are forbidden from seven-thirty seven-thirty until eleven o'clock each evening. In America broadcasting has been allowed to develop with very little regulation. It would have been far better if the national and state governments had created and maintained official broadcasting broadcast-ing stations throughout the nation. As there can only be a limited number of citizens using the air the ownership of these channels should be entirely reserved for the public. |
